Gary "Big Daddy" Goodridge's Iconic 13-Second Knockout at UFC 8

Gary “Big Daddy” Goodridge made one of the most iconic debuts in combat sports history at UFC 8 on February 16, 1996. Facing Paul Herrera in the opening round, Goodridge was targeted for an immediate takedown right at the bell. Instead of going down, he dramatically countered by trapping Herrera in a brutal crucifix position on the mat. With both of Herrera’s arms completely pinned, Goodridge unleashed eight devastating, unanswered elbows straight to his head. The fight lasted just 13 seconds, ending in a terrifying knockout that remains one of the most famous and vicious highlights in early UFC history.
